About

ProTronics, Inc. opened for business in June of 1993 and while expanding twice, has remained in the same Knightdale, North Carolina location. The original founding partners were Ed Valentine and Jan Alford. Prior to ProTronics, Ed and Jan at separate times both supervised a prototype lab and a rework and repair lab.

ProTronics came about when Jan sought Ed’s advice about starting a Contract Manufacturing business. Apparently on the same wave-length already, Ed pulled out a ready-to-go business plan for what would soon become ProTronics. After many years together, Ed retired and the company is now owned and operated by Jan Alford.

Over our 20 year history, ProTronics is proud to say that we have strived to treat our employees as family. We have become more than just a job shop for our customers… we’ve become an integral part and extension of their businesses!

We serve clients nationwide and internationally with most customers located throughout North Carolina (NC) and the southeast including South Carolina (SC), Georgia (GA), Florida (FL), Alabama (AL), Tennesee (TN), and in the Mid-Atlantic States including Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland and more.
